I, too, want to join the Senator from New York in commending the Senator from Delaware for offering this amendment. I think this strengthens fair trade in financial services and should include insurance. We have a number of very fine American companies that should be able to compete abroad that are now being prevented from doing so by arbitrary barriers to their entry.

If no one wishes to speak on it, I urge the adoption of the amendment.
